Biblical holiness requisite for possessing your possessions.

Obadiah  1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

Mount Zion is the house of God where He dwells, both on earth and in heaven.

Psalms  74:2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Psalms  132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.  132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

Isaiah  8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Hebrews  12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

Because God is dwelling there, holiness is the singular requisite to obtain blessings there.

Obadiah  1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

Why God is holy.

Psalms  145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

1 Peter  1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

How do you attain this holiness?

You must be firstly be biblically born again.

And then press on for the second work of grace and you will be made Holy or sanctified.

Matthew  1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Jesus saves from sins without, biblical salvation and and sins within, biblical sanctification.

God promised us help you possess your possessions.

Obadiah  1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

What are these possessions?

They are His good thoughts towards you in life.

Jeremiah  29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

These are your aspirations and pursuits in life, according to His perfect will.

This morning, what are those aspirations or God’s promises for you.

As you come to Zion and attain biblical sanctification or holiness, the second work of grace.  

Ask Him to possess your possessions for you according to His promises.

Then, you shall be fulfilled and bring glory to Him in Jesus name.

Obadiah  1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

Let us pray.
